This week on the podcast, I am joined by Alexandra Charles. Born and raised in Sydney Australia, Alexandra has been a professional dancer her whole life, with her performance career bringing her to the USA in 2014. Alexandra found yoga early on to help heal some injuries, and meditation to assist in centering and finding balance.

Her approach to both is with holistic, real-world tools and practices, and most of all, to make things enjoyable and accessible for any body. She opened her studio, Soul Tribes Yoga + Meditation, in Houston, Texas, in 2019, where she strives to help people cultivate self-awareness, strength, stability, mind/body balance, a heart-centered yoga practice, compassion, tools for breathwork, and mindfulness.

In this episode of the podcast, we’re talking about what it was like to open a yoga studio just months before the pandemic, how Alexandra and her team were able to keep the studio afloat, what her experience as a studio owner has been like (especially running a studio that offers the gentler forms of yoga), her tips for running a yoga business, and much more.

Enjoy!
